Film has never quit making good pictures. I believe that film makes better photograhy skills because of the tendency to make every shot count. Although I enjoy digital very much I also enjoy film as a distinct medium. Artists don't just paint on canvas and they don't all use oils.

I teach photography at the College of So. MD (CSM) and teach my digital students that shooting film and then scanning in the slides or negs is a preferred way to capture fine detail. I'm glad Kodak is still giving us new, better film.

I put away my film camera in 2003. I carried the film camera as a backup body to my new digital SLR on a 2 week cruise of the Baltic. I shot 3000 digital pictures on that trip and I have not picked up my film camera since!

I shot film for 25 years, but quit using film 5 years ago as only 10% of the images one shoots are keepers! With digital's immediate playback capabilities, you know immediately if I've got a keeper! It's been 5 years since I've used film!

I used to shoot just film.Then they took my kodachrome away. I've been shooting NIKON pro end digital ever since with few regrets. I like the idea of Kodak's new ISO 100 and wouldn't mind burning a few rolls.

In the fall of 1999, I took a course at Maine Photographic Workshops, led by David Middleton. He was so impressed with the color saturation I obtained with Kodak 100VS film that it prompted him to include a mention of this film along side of the Fuji film that for years had been a professional's standard. I use 100VS to this day.

Hard to believe that the 35mm film format of this color negative will find a market. Medium and large format sizes may still find a market, but it is hard to imagine myself purchasing any more 35mm film for my Nikon 35mm film cameras. They have not just taken a back seat, but have exited the bus entirely and gone into the museum......

It's good to see Kodak continuing to improve on films for us all. I would like to see it in 120/ 220 size too, though. It would be an additional product for us medium format users. I look forward to a Shutterbug review of this new emulsion

I own both digital and film cameras. The film cameras do things digital cannot as of yet and I have no trouble seeing image through the camera. The 35mms are not battery " hogs" either as many digitals can be and loose power at an inconvenient time. There is space for both and film will probably remain in use as vinyl phonograph discs have.

Between film and digital is really the instant gratification / feed back of digital cameras. Also, cost is a definite killer of film. Now if only there are places that do film processing with good scanning may be equivalent to 10MP ?

Digital cameras have gotten so good, along with the editing software, that I rarely even think of film anymore. If I want a certain "look" that one of my old films or lenses delivered, I only have to tweak a few settings on my DSLR and slightly adjust my Photoshop work-flow. I do not miss the "wet" darkroom or waiting for slides to come back, only to be scanned for inkjet printing anyway.

Sadly, film left me. On vacation in 2003, I dropped off some film to be processed at what had been a reputable photo processor. Only the tech who normally ran the mini-lab was also on vacation. Ruined film, ruined vacation, create one digital convert.
